The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 18

NKOSI'S POV_

I have been awake for an hour now, staring at my beauty. She was sleeping peacefully judging from the smiles on her face. I kissed her lips trying to wake her. She turned on her side, curling into my body. Again. I kissed her again, sucking on her lip.

Thembisa: "Hm.hm, Nkosi."

Nkosi: "Wake up."

Thembisa: "No." Then she's going to say I didn't wake her up.

Nkosi: "Yes, it's 6. You need to go to school." She held me tighter. Okay maybe another 30 minutes. I waited, watching her beautiful face. I didn't have a lot to do today but I did want to go to the new res and check if everything was complete to the standards I had proposed. Mthunzi was happy with it, the only thing I needed to do was to change the name. It would've been called New Hope but I wasn't too happy with that, mostly because it fetches the reminder that hope was needed to begin with. If leadership did what they had to do for the citizens of their nation, hope wouldn't be needed. We'd be striving and conquering. I would struggle with a name, this one needs to help me.

Nkosi: "Baby." I kissed her nose.

Thembisa: "Nkosi man."

Nkosi: "It's 8." She opened her eyes, sitting up quickly. "I'm joking. Good morning." I smiled.

Thembisa: "I was enjoying my dream."

Nkosi: "Do you want to tell me about it?" I pulled her into my arms.

Thembisa: "No."

Nkosi: "Ouch." She giggled. "Let's get you ready for school."

Thembisa: "Okay." She kissed me, getting up. "I didn't bring clothes again, one of these days I'll go to school with your royal suit on." I laughed. How can I not love this person? I have never met anyone more funny.

Nkosi: "When I drop you off, pack a few clothes, I'll bring them here. Or I can have stuff ordered for you I just need your sizes."

Thembisa: "Most of my clothes are altered. I'm a 36 bottom but a small top."

Nkosi: "I have no clue what that means. I'll bring the tailor on Friday so they can make you something to wear."

Thembisa: "Is the dance on Saturday?"

Nkosi: "Yes it is. He's quick. He'll finish by 6am on Saturday morning."

Thembisa: "You work him to the bone, don't you?" I chuckled.

Nkosi: "No. He's only my tailor, so he only makes things for me. All my outfits are made weeks before anything. I have something new to wear every few days. It's only now that he's going to have to buckle up when he makes clothes for you."

Thembisa: "I don't need that many clothes baby. Let me shower." She went to the bathroom. I walked out the sliding door on to the deck to watch the sun rise on the mountains. At least now, life was coming together. For the first time, I found myself happy.

SASA'S POV_

Nkosi dropped me at res.

Me: "The next time you come, I'll have a bag ready."

Nkosi: "Okay."

Me: "Goodbye baby."

Nkosi: "When am I seeing you again?"

Me: "On Friday."

Nkosi: "I'm going to suffer."

Me: "You'll be strong like a Siberian tiger. Goodbye baby." He laughed.

Nkosi: "You're silly." I kissed him, climbing out the car. I went up to my room, finding Amahle getting dressed.
